Hello Tymgoss, welcome to LQ,

normaly in Linux we use cups for printing. cups comes with a webinterface, you open it in a browser, the adress is

Code:

http://localhost:631

there you can add the printer.

Brother Linux Driver may be required

Also, you may need to get the Linux driver from Brother, they have them on their website.
